"When you're done, master."
She sounded rather grumpy, as if a beast as green as her eyes had woken up.

The lively conversation of the group was interrupted by a dull pop from the car and the sight of the captive peeking out from that prison with wide, frightened eyes, having apparently found the automobile's interior trunk release. At least he seemed to have some situational awareness this time around, compared to his previous numb rambling.

"Do I look to be in the proper shape for a pre-dawn jog?" Stefan snorted and gestured to his ripped, blood-soaked clothes. "I'll be taking full advantage of that Geis' protections, thank you very much. I accept your gracious offer of automobile transport, along with armed protection from a Heroic Spirit, lest I be left at the mercy of my pursuers."

"Right. That's a thing." Erina mumbled. Her team was just built for effectiveness, wasn't it? Luckily for her levels of exasperation, a distraction she'd already committed to presented itself in the form of a frightened man popping open a car trunk from the inside.
Erina walked up to the trunk and kneeled beside it, putting herself on eye-level with the confused man. "Don't be afraid, I'm not going to hurt you. How are you feeling?" She asked with genuine concern in Italian, remembering that Dan had said something about that being the language he spoke.

"GAAH! Bwah! Pwaf! Blagh!" Spitting furiously to clear the taste of nope not even gonna think about that out of his mouth, Dan stormed to the nearest pile of snow and began rubbing handfuls of frozen water on his face because screw pneumonia Caster goo CASTER GOO!
"Guh! Thanks, Assassin! Thanks so very much!" He said with withering sarcasm, fingers rifling through the old coat to retrieve everything he'd stashed in it before torching the damn thing Caster GOOO!
That was fine, that was fine, ruined, might be salvagable....he pulled a switchblade out, flipped it open and wiped it clean on the snow in three quick moves, letting the blade catch the light everybody look here look here while his other hand discretely tucked Caster's egg away up the sleeve of his denim shirt.
"You're welcome!" Assassin replied happily, still not even looking in his direction, and Dan whispered something extremely uncomplimentary and very profane in Portugese about wasting of good sarcasm.
"Not really, I don't have a mother. What's 'sarcasm'?" Assassin did look away from Taiga then, tilting his neck at a bizarre angle to study Teacher's other student. "Dan...are you mad at...oh! It's okay, Teacher told me it's okay to like more than one person and she likes all her students and Saber too...Saber? Are you Teacher's student like me and Dan are?"
Dan opened his mouth. Dan closed his mouth. Dan contemplated slamming his forehead into the hood of the van he was standing beside, but refrained.

Saber found a ley line under a busted up Church, Erina wants us all to move in with her, if I get poisoned from this...!

Caster rolled his eyes at Dan's reaction, now standing erect.
Bah, calm yourself. You'd be in more danger if you swallowed chewing gum. As long as you can breathe well you're fine. As for where we will settle, I suppose it'd be rude to turn down the woman's offer...
@Takoe
Caster turned to Erina, making a small bow.
"Miss...Erina, I presume? I am terribly sorry I couldn't introduce myself in better circumstances." A glance to the ebony ooze he had left behind. "And I apologize if Daniel here has been a bit rowdy. He's somewhat short of temper with everything that's happened tonight. Now, as you know, I am Caster of Black, and I believe that you wanted us to come with you to somewhere a bit more safe?"

"Yes, I did." Erina answered in English, not turning around the face him and keeping her critical eyes on the confused man, trying to discern what was wrong with him. She did however feel on some deeply ingrained level that he was being courteous, so she inclined her head when he bowed to return the respect. "My mansion specifically. It may not be situated on the most magically powerful of spots since my "magecraft" doesn't employ prana from the environment, but I had it fortified to the moon and back and it has enough space to house all of our team."
There were also two homonculi in her basement that she didn't want to leave stuck there, but that wasn't important right now.

RIn gave a slow nod, ceding the question as Stefan gave his sarcastic answer. Very well then, she had just figured she would be courteous and give him the option of choosing for himself. But she was perfectly willing to give him a ride or call a taxi if that was needed. So she would heed her Geis, and honor her duty as a Magus with the contract that she had signed.
"Very well then," she replied, rising to her feet as she waved towards the door. "Follow me." With that said she would lead him out of the room at a firm pace, making sure that he could keep up with her but not being too slow either. 'Come along Archer,' she added telepathically. 'We're going to have a lot to talk about once we've delivered Mister Stefan to his hotel.' That much would be obvious, but she wanted to make sure that her Servant didn't decide to indulge in his Independent Action skill, out of some lingering mistrust or anger at the man currently under their protection. Better safe than sorry, especially as far as Heroic Spirits were concerned.
After a short walk they would arrive in the garage of the Tohsaka Mansion, with one open spot where her mother had taken a vehicle with her in her trip out of the city, but still otherwise housing a couple other vehicles. She would move through there with remembered ease, soon arriving at a car that was less on the fancy side, and probably wouldn't stand out as much. "Get in," she directed as she came to a stop by the drivers side door.

Taiga perked up at that. "What's your policy on dogs? And, follow up: would anything in this mansion kill, maim, disintegrate, burn, melt, or decapitate me or my puppies were you to conveniently forget to mention them?"
The words felt harsh the moment they left her mouth, and the teacher scuffed the pavement sheepishly, "I mean, y'know. You seem to have some issues, very valid of course, and I wouldn't want to intrude...but it does have a kitchen right? Big, nice, maybe a cook on staff?"

Lancer scanned the area with all his senses. He still couldn't pick up their enemy's presence, and it worried him. A lesser man might've panicked, but Lancer maintained a cool look. This wasn't his first prolonged battle. In comparison to not sleeping for a few days, several minutes of combat from a hidden marksman wasn't worth mentioning.
His eyes were drawn to the small envelope dropped by the bird. At first he had thought it might've been a follow-up attack, but after a few tense moments that didn't seem to be the case. That didn't mean it wasn't a trap.
@God and the Snake
"Nagao, I'll take a look. Remain vigilant," Lancer said. He meant to be calming but some of his tension bled into his tone.
He summoned a small familiar to open the envelope. It was meant to act as a possible buffer in case the letter was trapped somehow. This wouldn't be the first time Lancer was a target of foul play.

Uh-huh. Yeah. "Polite". Dan looked at Caster. Dan looked at Erina's outfit. Dan looked at Caster looking at Erina's outfit.
Caster, I was born at night, but it wasn't last night, you know? Polite my ass. And didn't you say you needed a ley line so you and Saber could go pedal to the metal without me dropping dead?
Dan drew one last item out of the soiled jacket, an old harmonica. He glowered at speck of black on it, and immediately pulled another handkerchief out and started buffing it. More drops of goo slid off his hat, and his scowl got even nastier...the jacket he'd trash, but not his hat.
@BlackHadou
"Saber...I don't suppose you still have that outfit I let you borrow? Miss Taiga here was looking for some clothes that ain't charbroiled, and it looks like you already found some fit you better..."

Caster grumbled to himself, annoyed.
Fine, fine, it'd be more efficient than only using the other methods I mentioned, and I would benefit more from settling there in case the White faction came by. I'd still like to see this place Erina mentioned in case we have to fall back on it.

"Dogs are fine. I like them, but I travel too much to have one as a pet. Jonathan had one when he was young. A Great Dane named Danny. They were best friends in a time where he was a social outcast..." Erina told, sinking into reverie of those happy childhood days for a spell. "Buuuut then Diablo noticed he was happy, so he bound Danny up with metal wires, locked him into a box and then threw the box in an incinerator. Jonathan was utterly devastated..."
"Anyway, my home should be safe for you and your hopefully non-Vampiric dogs. Just stay out of the basement while I'm there. The dojo is down there and some stray oil might land on you if you're not careful and burn a hole through your body. I don't have any housekeepers with me either, although as the hostess it'd be rude not to do most of the cleaning. All I ask is that you clean up after yourself if you make a mess."

Saber glanced at that bag she'd just stuffed things into, reaching in and pulling the clothes out, along with another bottle of cola.
"I have them. Might be a little wet. I think you burst a bottle bringing me here." Indeed, the bottle she pulled was empty, a mournful looking hole in the bottom. Saber seemed almost proud that it'd burst. "Plastic doesn't take mana as well as cloth does."

@Mina
"Not for you, Miss Taiga, I mean...you can borrow my clean stuff, that's not even..."
Way to look professional and in control and not like food to the two hundred year old Magus and the vampire, Dan. Real good job.
"Uh-huh. Yeah. Little problem...Caster needs to set his territory up on a ley line. Saber found a good one...good enough, White already parked their Caster on the best spot, anyway...I'm kinda iffy on splitting everybody up too much, letting White pick us off one at a time I know, I know, Miss Erina, scattered, but...that don't mean they're gonna stay that way, you know? And just because they're acting like fools don't mean we need to act like fools...and I'm cold, and I am covered in..." Dan waved a hand at himself. "And I'm going back in that hotel and shower and change clothes, Miss Taiga wants to bum a outfit off me, okay, you wanna talk with Minnett...Caster can go with you, Berserker knows him, won't go straight to stabbing you and Rider in the face...everybody okay with that?"

"Sounds good and like a much needed thing. I propose we put it to a vote later, that way we'll establish some team cohesion while we're at it." Erina replied, still sizing up the confused man, waiting for him to respond to her words.

Taiga's eyes glazed over as Erina reminisced about Danny. Alright, never going to ask her a question ever again. It seemed like every time the ridiculously well preserved vampire hunteress/teacher/dancer spoke it started with Jonathan and ended with a horror show.
"Yeah... That's okay. I'll just...stay at my place with my totally non-vampiric dogs...."
Having done her best to get out of staying with the crazy lady she edged away and reached for one of the sodden garments Saber held out. Dan and Erina prattled away as Taiga very subtly stuck a cola soaked shirtsleeve in her mouth and sucked. Sweet, flannely goodness trickled down her throat.
She'd told him she was hungry.
@BlackHadou
She mumbled out the side of her mouth, "Mmrfhh...psst, Saber. Has Dan been treating you okay? Not letting Caster be creepy at you? Blink once for yes, twice for no."

"That's good. Mmmfh... Really good. He's had a tough night. Guess he thought I was dead, tried to kill me on account of the whole being dead thing, and Assassin has to have given him a concussion by now with all the hugs and shaking. Me too probably. Oh, he's not a hugger, you might want to take note of that."
Her fangs were making holding the sleeve in place pretty easy, but they couldn't be good for the material. Oh well, he'd get over it.

Out of the corner of his eye, Dan noticed Saber and Taiga huddling up thick as thieves, and really? Really? Yeah, she'd summoned Saber originally...off his circle, first instance of her making a idiot of him, and then not telling him she was a vampire and dying and coming back and Assassin kicking his ass probably laughing at him, Saber too, and the only parts of him that weren't covered in Caster goo were where he'd rubbed snow on himself and that was feeling just great, chills to go with the feverish two Servants on one Master feeling, telling him to run and Caster being...Caster, and he turned away from Erina and walked over to the two of them, all machismo y malo intentions strut and swagger, and he opened his mouth to point out that he'd just said they didn't need to scatter all over Hell's half acre and she'd just about got her ticket punched once already...
"Are you SUCKING ON my shirt?"
Dan's eyes went wolfish yellow again and a growl reverberated in his chest, because why would a damn vampire be gumming on his clothes oh uh uh Hell no he'd hold her down for Erina...
*Riiiiip*
And Assassin eased up and bit the other sleeve off his shirt, chewing on it contemplatively.
"Don't eat my clothes!" And this was stupid Assassin took him down like that predator your territory show your teeth never back down.
"''M swor!" Assassin mumbled around a mouthful of flannel. "Jus foo yun Techer?"
"No! You. Don't. Eat. Clothes!"
"I nu? Techers."

Still stucking the fabric, because if she was caught, she was caught, Taiga held out a corner toward the growling magus.

Saber took another swig of cola, her lips twisted into a huge grin.
"Well. They get along fine." Her attention turned to Erina. "The plan? If we're going to the church, we had better do it before those hornets find me again. I'm sure you... magi would like a chance to actually set up." She paused, looking at Taiga.
"The apostle might have issues though. How did Galahad deal with this?"

"I...it...it's my shirt and..." Calm and professional! Tear her throat out she smells kinda nice under the whole burnt up whooooaaaa dial that way way waaaay down. Clawed nails dug into Dan's palms as he eased back on his "inheritance".
"Miss Taiga. If you want some Coke I will go get you and Assassin and Saber some as soon as I get a bath and change but I can't go around naked and if you and Assassin chew up all my shirts..."
"Why?"
Dan swiveled his head around to glower at Assassin, who had swallowed his shirt sleeve down.
"Cause it's snowing and I'll freeze to death."
"But you have Lycaon's curse. Just turn into a wolf, then you won't need them. That would work, wouldn't it, Teacher?" Assassin smiled, pleased to have helped his fellow student solve a problem.

"Mffaay! Don't all me hat."
Taiga nodded sagely at her kohai's wisdom, and spat the mangled sleeve out. He was doing quite well, all things considered.
"That's very true. The puppies never complain about the cold, but that may have more to do with the whole 'vampiric-wolves' thing than the fur.
"And anyway, low blood sugar is unpleasant and can lead to a whole bunch of negative, long term health effects, and this was the only acceptibly edible thing here."
She sniffed dismissively, "If you're going to be a baby about it I'll buy you a dozen shirts just like that one so you can stop that growling mister!"
